(Someone actually wrote a review headlining 3 stars because the title made that person wonder how well written the book is!)

Am including here, for the weekend, Amazon US's Black Friday announcement of example deals that will be available at various times through the weekend. They say they'll be monitoring Black Friday ads to meet or beat the best deals they see, and their PR release has a reminder that people should use the Price Check Amazon app available for iPhone and Android when shopping in stores to make sure they're getting a good deal.

(They didn't even include the 9.7" Kindle DX being discounted by $120 through Nov. 28 (from $379 to $259).

There are several deep discounted items in this batch, including some from HarperCollins.)

TEMPORARILY-Free Books: Alerts from the Amazon Kindle forums - via the tireless "Happy Reader" Joyce, who is ever on the lookout on behalf of forum members.

NOTE: The alerts are quoted from Joyce's collecting of mostly temporarily-free books. They're *not* recommendations by anyone but are a popular, unfiltered daily set of forum release-alerts by Joyce, logged here for those who don't or can't make it to the forums. The eBooks are often no longer free within days, sometimes, within hours. Thanks to Joyce for gathering and organizing them for us.

I see hope in the faces of the flowers in my garden. They are beautiful in the new morning, opening like smiles and shining with promise. Someone's thinking about you, and that is me!

After today, I will be going on vacation. Annie will be posting the freebies for you while I'm gone. She is a very special friend to me, and has been so kind to help and be sure that the freebies are posted and you are not forgotten. I will see you when I return on Thursday, December 1st. I will miss each of you very much.]

Post a Comment

Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.

Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.

Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.

Technical Problems?If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).

IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug). Apologies for the problems.

TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
